Re: Can't make spool bucket + apreqXXXXXX temp files - Windows & 2.08

Hi Randy,

Thanks for your speedy response, much appreciated.

I've just re-installed libapreq2 on one machine as you suggested and it 
seems to have fixed both problems. The machine was experiencing both 
problems before the re-install.


Installed from:
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/libapreq2.ppd

Windows Server 2003
Service Pack 1 build 3790
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.00GHz
Apache    - 2.2.4
mod_perl2 - 2.0.3
Libapreq2 - 2.08
Perl      - 5.8.8


I will do further tests on some other machines tomorrow.

If you let me know when you have any future releases to test let me know 
and I would be happy to help.

Many thanks

Pete
